  • This invention relates to the foaming of the reaction product of polyisocyanate and active hydrogen-containing compound such as polyol in the presence of Z-HFO-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene blowing agent at high temperature.
  • EP 2 447 310 discloses the use of 1336mzzm as being 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluorobutene and being applicable as a blowing agent to produce polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams, but having the disadvantage of the foams having high thermal conductivity arising from the above atmospheric pressure boiling point of this compound [0007-0008].
  • the correct identity of 1336mzzm which is the same as 1336mzz, is 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene.
  • the Z- isomer has a boiling point of 33°C.
  • EP'310 overcomes this problem by combining the 1336mzz with 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233zd) as the blowing agent to produce the polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams.
  • the maximum temperature of the raw materials used in the foaming process which is the foaming temperature is disclosed to be 70°F (21.1°C) [0051].
  • the raw materials are the polyol masterbatch and the polyisocyanate, which are commonly referred to as the B-side and A-side compositions (reactants), respectively.
  • JP H05 179043 A describes a blowing agent comprising cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene.

  • the foaming temperature is the temperature of the polyisocyanate and active hydrogen-containing reactants and the compositions containing these reactants i.e. the A-side composition containing the polyisocyanate and the B-side composition containing the active-hydrogen-containing compound. This is the temperature of the reactants and their respective compositions (A-side and B-side) at the time of feeding to the apparatus that mixes them together, resulting in production of the foamed reaction product.
  • the maximum foaming temperature is application dependent in the sense that increasing foaming temperature is accompanied by increasing reaction rate.
  • the foaming temperature should not be so high that it is detrimental to the foamed reaction product. The most common detriment would be an increase in thermal conductivity.
  • the preferred maximum foaming temperature is 150°F (65.6°C).
  • the present invention contemplates foaming temperatures of 135°F(57.2°C) to 150°F(65.6°C), 135°F(57.2°C) to 145°F(62.8°C), and 140°F(60.0°C) to 145°F(62.8°C) and 140°F(60.0°C) to 150°F(65.6°C).

  • examples of polyisocyanates useful for making polyisocyanate-based foam comprise at least one of aromatic, aliphatic and cycloaliphatic polyisocyanates, among others.

  • a surfactant can be employed to stabilize the foaming reaction mixture while curing.
  • Such surfactants normally comprise a liquid or solid organosilicone compound.

  • about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of surfactant based on the total weight of the foamable composition i.e.total weight of all foaming ingredients (i.e. blowing agents + active hydrogen-containing compounds + polyisocyanates + additives,) are used.
  • about 1.5% to about 3% by weight of surfactant based on the total weight of all foaming ingredients are used.
  • One or more catalysts for the reaction of the active hydrogen-containing compounds, e.g. polyols, with the polyisocyanate may be also employed.
